How did you feel while writing The Edge Of Summer? There are so many things that I loved about this novel! And I wanted to say thank you for restoring my love of Historical Fiction!
Jessica Brockmole
I love the adventure of starting a new novel, of meeting characters and seeing where their journeys take them. AT THE EDGE OF SUMMER is more of a coming-of-age story than LETTERS FROM SKYE. My main characters, Luc and Clare, grow from idealistic teenagers to adults in the midst of WWI. I am not a plotter, so every first draft is an exercise in discovery and it's always fun to see which characters are battered down by the conflicts I throw their way and which characters grow stronger and rise above the dark moments. I can get just as wrapped up in a story while writing as I do while reading!
And thank you! I'm so happy that you enjoyed reading Luc and Clare's story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

I just had to let you know that "Letters from Skye" is one of the best books I've ever read. I listened to the audio version and believe that the story was enhanced tremendously by the wonderfully gifted readers and their accents and voices. An OUTSTANDING story and an UNFORGETTABLE experience overall. Are there any plans to make this book into a movie? Diane
